Veteran fitness expert Denise Austin's Personal Training System is one of several exercise programs designed to take advantage of a valuable feature of the DVD format: namely, the ability for viewers to customize their own workouts by picking and choosing from various elements presented in Austin's prescribed routines. These include sections devoted to cardio (available at low and high intensity levels, both about 20 minutes long), upper and lower body exercises (offered at low, medium, and high intensity, each about ten minutes long), and abdominal and stretching segments (the same for all levels, these also last about ten minutes). Meanwhile, the "custom workout" option enables users to combine any or all of these elements according to taste and fitness level. There's nothing especially innovative here--indeed, the cardio sections are pretty much old school, Jane Fonda Workout-style aerobics, while the upper and lower body sections include light weights, bends, lunges, push-ups and other tried-and-true elements--but those looking for a thorough, sweat-inducing regimen will certainly find it here. Austin's relentlessly effervescent style will no doubt prove inspiring to some and cloying to others. On the other hand, the entire program can be done without her audio instructions, and those who simply don't want to work out at all can occupy themselves with an accompanying booklet filled with diet pointers and recipes. --Sam Graham

- Genial !!
When i came to USA for the first time, i gain a lot of weight (13 kilos). I became really desesperate... When i came to a shop i found this DVD and i give it a try. AND I LOVE IT. Denise Austin is one of the best things i discover in USA. She helps me to lose my weight, to be in shape...
The dvd is easy to follow and you can increase your levels. Denise tells you always some explanation and the way she is motivating and smiling help us to go on.
Well done !
Rating: - Love it!
This was my first experience with Denise Austin. Whenever I had caught a few minutes of her show on TV I always thought, "What is WRONG with that woman?" But, now that I've experienced her workouts I really enjoy her personality. She is peppy and encouraging and you can't help but feel energized by her enthusiasm.
As for the workouts, I am doing all the low level stuff because I am not in shape at all. They kick my butt, however, not in an exhausting painful way. I feel really worked ... Read More

- Denise Austin gets you in shape
Denise has some good, basic routines for you, but you'll have to do them much longer than the few seconds she devotes to each exercise.Some of the movements are so slow and lax that I doubt your flab will be intimidated!

- Good workout
I really enjoy this dvd. I love that you can customize the workout for your time/needs. I love the low intensity option for the cardio segment since I have touchy knees and ankles. The only thing is if i'm feeling good in the knees and ankles I go for the high intensity and that it's more challenging, which I like, but I definitely could not do it on a daily basis with past knee surgery and many ankle injuries in volleyball.Oh well, however I VERY MUCH ENJOY HER UPPER, LOWER, and AB WORKOUTS! The low, ... Read More
Rating: - Easy on the back but pretty effective
It's a great workout with good mix of stretching, cardio and strength. And most important, its very easy on your back.
